Lake Powell Fishing Report June 15 2025 - Bass Booming, Stripers Going Off
Artificial Lure here with your Lake Powell fishing report for June 15, 2025.
Sunrise came early at 5:02 AM and sunset wraps things up at 7:43 PM, providing a big 14-hour window to chase that next personal best. Early June weather is treating us right: calm and cool in the mornings, highs rising through the mid-80s by midday, with afternoons seeing a fresh breeze across the water. No tides out here—just that classic desert reservoir rise. After a wild, wet spring, runoff is starting to slow, but water levels are still climbing by more than a foot a day, flooding brush and new structure all along the shoreline. Water temps are holding steady around 66°F, and the clarity is excellent from Wahweap Bay up through the main channel, according to recent data from Arizona Game & Fish.
The bass bite is bouncing! Smallmouth and largemouth have slid deeper, but they’re hungry—look for smallmouth in 10 to 30 feet of water, especially off main lake points and inside flooded brush pockets. Trolling and tubing are producing steady 1 to 2-pounders, with better largemouth reports coming from the San Juan Arm. Early on, a Zara Spook or Megabass Vision 110 jerkbait will get explosive topwater strikes. Once the sun’s up, rigging a Yamamoto Neko Fat Worm in green pumpkin on a Neko Rig or a Texas-rigged Yamamoto Hula Grub pitched into fresh brush is the ticket. Jig and chatterbait fans have been cashing in, too—try a green pumpkin chatterbait with a Zoom baby bass fluke trailer along rocky shorelines and around submerged structure.
Striped bass are absolutely going off. Hundreds have been cleaned at Wahweap Marina this week, most running a solid 2 to 5 pounds, with the occasional double-digit brute landed by folks willing to hunt schools stacking up deep. Early mornings are magic for topwater action; watch for surface boils and hit them with silver spoons or shad-imitating swimbaits. For numbers, it’s hard to beat dead anchovies on a Carolina rig, especially in the striper hot spots like Navajo Canyon, Warm Creek, or up north at Good Hope Bay and 2 Mile Canyon. If you’re after quality over quantity, trolling deeper diving plugs and vertical jigging heavy spoons near bait balls has been landing the fattest fish with those signature pink fillets.
A quick word on walleye: Not typically the main Lake Powell target, but this year reports are up, with a couple a day showing up as bycatch in most boats. Try a flicker shad or shad rap around rocky ledges.
For hot spots, don’t miss:
- Wahweap Marina: fantastic for morning stripers and deep bass.
- The San Juan Arm: best for largemouth this week.
- Navajo Canyon and Warm Creek: loaded with stripers on both bait and spoons.
